08.04.2010 NEWS: THE BOWIE EXPERIENCE DO ZIGGY STARDUST...MOSTLY
It's safe in the city, to love in a doorway...
Well, I don't need to say much more really...apart from the fact that you can see what else The Bowie Experience is planning to do here and you can read more about the Mathew Street Music Festival here .
I don't want to contravene the Trades Description Act, so I guess I should also mention that Laurence and the boys aren't doing the full Ziggy Stardust album.
It seems they've dropped It Ain't Easy, Lady Stardust and Star in favour of three songs I guess they consider better crowd pleasers.
Strange way to treat a classic album, but here's the setlist for the day as it stands right now anyway...
Five Years
Soul Love
Moonage Daydream
Space Oddity
Watch That Man
Starman
Hang Onto Yourself
The Jean Genie
Ziggy Stardust
Suffragette City
Rock 'N' Roll Suicide
Speaking of Bowie impersonators...(Sorry Laurence, I know you're a tribute act, not an impersonator...but that would have ruined my link!)

You will see in October's diary some stuff about the making of a DVD. I would like Bowienetters to know about this, maybe some would be interested? It's free entry and they would be part of a film that will go on general release. I`m still waiting for exact address and start time, but I know it will be daytime up until about 8:00pm in the Strattford-upon-Avon area.
So, there you have it. Not sure what this DVD is but I understand they are trying to recreate an early Bowie show, with, I presume, an appropriately attired crazy kid crowd for added realistic atmosphere. I will post further details as soon as I have them.

Come to the show tonight...
On the very day that David Bowie was originally scheduled to end his A Reality Tour in France, tribute outfit, The Bowie Experience, continues its trek around England with the dates below:
July Dates
Friday 23rd - Bowie Band - The Cauliflower - 553 High Road, Seven Kings, Ilford, Essex, IG1 1TZ. Tel: 0208 478 0627
Saturday 24th - Bowie Band - The Bristol Hotel, 131 Bristol Road , Gloucester
Sunday 25th - Bowie Band - Paradise Island, 18-22 Bull Street, Burnley, Lancashire. 01282 411899 [4pm start]
Thursday 29th - Laurence - The Pheonix Hotel, 15 Fore Street, Chard, Somerset. 01460 66444
Friday 30th - Bowie Solo - The Rainbow Club, Belgrave Road, Torquay, Devon.
Saturday 31st - Laurence - The Ship Inn, 68 High Street, Fordingbridge, Hants. 01425 651820
Here's a general note from head main man Laurence, (Pictured above in the advertising campaign for which British Telecom used him as Ziggy Stardust at The National Space Centre in Leicester to launch their `Mars communication` system.) explaining the format of the shows and stuff:
Starting time for gigs, unless otherwise stated, is normally around 9:00pm through to approx. 11:00pm.
`The Bowie Experience`, is the catch-all title of my show when I am doing the tribute, ie attempting to look and act as much like David as I can, taking in his image changes through the years, as well as sounding like him, this applies to the show whether I`m doing it on my own (solo), with my guitarist (duo), or with the band.
When I perform under my own name, I look and act as much like myself as I can, so strictly speaking it is not a `Tribute show` but I still sing Davids songs along with material by other artists, (usually with some kind of link to David however tenuous) and as I began this tribute thing because audiences told me I sounded just like him, some people prefer it because the focus is more on the music, It`s more intimate, less `showy`.
So catch 'em in Illford tonight if you can. The Bowie Experience will be performing many more shows around the UK in the next couple of months, for which we'll post details nearer the time.

Looked a lot like you and me...
Bowie tribute artist, Laurence, (above left) and Bowie impersonator, (right) have been hired by the BBC for an episode of a new six-part comedy due to start airing next month, called Time Trumpet.
Written and directed by satirist Armando Iannucci , (whose previous work includes the brilliant The Day Today, Alan Partridge and The Thick Of It, among many other things) Time Trumpet will "look back" on events of the next 50 years from the perspective of a nostalgia show from the year 2050.
I'm been asked not to give anything away about the episode in which both get to play David Bowie's alter-ego Ziggy Stardust, but I don't think I'm revealing too much when I say you probably won't view Stars In Their Eyes in quite the same way again!
It does all sound a bit of a hoot and we'll give you the definite air date of this particular episode as soon as it's confirmed.

"We should be on by now..." Laurence of The Bowie Experience wonders which Bowie to be tonight.
Singing old songs we love...
We told you about David Bowie tribute outfit, The Bowie Experience, a couple of weeks back (07.23.2004 NEWS: WITNESS THE BOWIE EXPERIENCE IN THE UK TONIGHT) and it seems August is going to be just as busy for Laurence and the boys as July was.
Fresh from a triumphant show in Taunton, Somerset, last night, the band continues to storm the West Country this evening with a show in Dorset as outlined in the August diary below:
August Dates
Friday 6th - Bowiexp as 7 piece - Mr Kyps, 8a Parr Street, Lower Parkstone, Poole, Dorset. Tel: 01202 748945 (Log on to web site for fan review)
Saturday 7th - Bowiexp as 7 piece - The Marine Theatre, Lyme Regis. Box Office: 01297 442138
Sunday 8th - Laurence - Shell Bay Bistro, Ferry Road, Studland, Dorset. (5:00 - 7:30pm) Tel: 01929 450363

If the online reviews are to be believed and if the Unplugged And Somewhat Slightly Dazed CD that Laurence sent me is anything to go by, The Bowie Experience is well worth checking out. The band plays a wide range of songs from all eras of the Bowie back catalogue and does a pretty convincing job of many Bowie originals from Eight Line Poem through Scary Monsters to Seven and beyond.
If you do pop along to any of the above dates, please say hello to Laurence from us.
